Suction Cups

This paper proposes a pressing method for wall-climbing robots to prevent them from falling. In order to realize the method, the properties of the utilized suction cup are studied experimentally. Then based on the results, a guide rail is designed to distribute the attached suction cup force and implement the pressing method. A prototype of a wall-climbing robot that utilizes passive suction cups and one motor is used to demonstrate the proposed method. An experimental test-bed is designed to measure the force changes of the suction cup when the robot climbs upwards. The experimental results validate that the suction cup can completely attach to the surface by the proposed method, and demonstrate that the robot can climb upwards without falling.

Good Agreement

In order to satisfy the requirements on payload ability and maneuverability of the wall-climbing robot, a novel permanent magnetic adhesion system based on the linear Halbach array is designed. The permanent magnetic adhesion system and the wheel locomotion mechanism are employed in the robot system. By static and dynamic force analysis of the robot, design requirements about adhesion system are derived. The optimal dimensions of the mechanism are obtained using numerical modeling and parameter approximation method of first order partial derivative of dependent variables. Finally, the adhesion mechanism has been constructed and the maximum and minimum adhesion forces are measured and compared with numerical simulation and a good agreement is found.

Steel Surfaces

Regular surface-maintenances are necessary for high structures to increase service life. The traditional manual operation has shortcomings like limited maneuverability, poor operating quality, low operating efficiency, and high risk of physical harm, which makes it urgent to develop wall-climbing robot for carrying out surface-maintenances of high structures with high efficiency, low cost, and good protection of operators. In this article, we have developed a wheeled wall-climbing robot that uses a permanent magnet adhesion system to climb on large steel surfaces. Wheel traction to avoid slippage is increased by using inflated rubber tire while maintaining a desired air gap for the magnet system. Research is directed at designing a lightweight magnet system to provide an optimum adhesion force and at determining required tire pressures to maintain a specified air gap between the magnets and the surface.
